ANJAR, Lebanon - Syrian intelligence agents and troops on Monday pulled out of their Lebanon headquarters in the Bekaa Valley town of Anjar near the border with Syria, an AFP correspondent said.
The Syrian military intelligence chief for Lebanon, General Rustom Ghazaleh, was later seen crossing the Masnaa border post being driven in the direction of the Syrian capital.
His office in Anjar was evacuated and a Lebanese flag was seen fluttering over the building. Ghazaleh himself was expected to return to Lebanon on Tuesday for a formal ceremony to complete Syria's withdrawal.
The only soldiers left in Anjar, an all-Armenian town which Lebanon's army declared a "military zone" on Monday afternoon, were Lebanese.
